Several lighthouse keepers and their families lived in the lighthouse at various times.〔 In 2008, the property was put up for sale, with an asking price of $1.75 million as of September 25, 2008. By June 2009, the asking price had fallen to $1.595 million,〔Advertisement by William Pitt/Sotheby's International Realty, page 1D, ''The Darien Times'', September 25, 2008〕 according to the real estate agent's website.〔 According to an advertisement for the real estate offering, the property includes the lighthouse, Chatham Rock and, in words that were in quotes in the advertisement, "surrounding underwater land embraced within a circle, seven hundred fifty (750) feet in diameter, the center of which is Chatham Rock".〔 Currently (2014) the lighthouse seems to be badly in need of painting and appears very rusty and somewhat run down when viewed from the shore. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stamford Harbor Ledge Light」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
